Pass the Puzzle – Challenge

If you’ve been following me for some time now, you’ve probably noticed I enjoy jigsaw puzzles a lot. I always have one set up at home. I don’t rush to complete them, they're there purely for my enjoyment and therefore I go at my own pace. Slowly, but surely. Puzzling for me is a form … Continue reading Pass the Puzzle – Challenge

October Challenge

I started October with a plan: I would watch as many scary movies as I could before Halloween. From the beginning, I knew it wasn’t realistic for me to watch 31 (one a day), but I thought I could manage 15-20 scary movies easily. I asked among my friends if they knew of any good … Continue reading October Challenge

A break…

I love exercising. I love sweating and feeling like your taking your body to the limit, where you can't give anymore. But, I'm sometimes not that consistent. I push myself too hard, exercising almost every day, until I take a break and, without me realizing it, that break becomes longer than I wish it had. … Continue reading A break…

“Everyone”

I’ve always been a fan of TV series. Way before NETFLIX, I was the kind of person who would happily stay in on a weekend and catch up on a TV show. Back then we used to rent out a whole season on DVD and we would only have a couple of days to watch … Continue reading “Everyone”

I love looking at photo albums, reminiscing on old pastimes, movies from my childhood, or listening to songs and albums that take me back to specific moment in my life... I've never been a fan of … Continue reading Second time around.

I grew up surrounded by booklovers, avid readers that would devour books constantly. My parents, sister, grandmother, aunts, best friends... they would regularly talk about the latest book they were reading, the new trilogy from their favorite author, or the latest New York Times Best Seller... And I, I constantly felt like the "outsider", the … Continue reading At your own pace.

This time I want to share with you some other favorite podcasts. They're completely … Continue reading PODCASTS: To get you hooked

September, the other January.

In the beginning of 2019 I decided to follow Gretchen Rubin's lead and created a "19 for 2019" list. It was an idea she talked about in her podcast and I found it motivating to try out. It's similar to establishing New Year's Resolutions, but it's intended for you to set clear goals, sort of … Continue reading September, the other January.

It’s ok.

We were taught to always finish what we started: our dinner plate, our after school classes, clubs we joined. We had to commit until the end. This built character and set the foundation for us to become responsible adults. Now, as adults, we feel bad anytime we want to quit something and feel the need … Continue reading It’s ok.
